Tuscany Off the Beaten Path

Tuscany is full of beautiful hidden gems, just waiting to be discovered. Rather than spending all of your time in the crowded cities, for example Florence, Siena, and San Gimignano, here is a guide to help you discover more of Tuscany's beloved spots. This guide includes the area of/surrounding Florence, Lucca, Pienza, Montepulciano, Montalcino, the coast of Livorno, Elba Island, Chianti, Panzano, Montelupo Fiorentino, Fiesole, and so much more in between, regarding what to see, eat, and do. From wine tastings, yoga in the vineyards, picnics in the hills, to petting goats, or exploring the fascinating waterfalls, there is so much to discover.

Where to Stay?

Glamping il Sole
@daniellecohen
If you're looking for a super unique, off the beaten path stay in Tuscany, this is the place. Amidst the countryside of Maremma, you can sleep in a treehouse, geodetica dome, a hobbit house in the style of Lord of the Rings, or a Teepee

Tenuta Ceccatelli
@daniellecohen
This is a beautiful countryside villa in the heart of Castellina in Chianti. Best if you have a car to get around.

You'll definitely want a reservation here, and maybe up to a few days before, especially if you're hoping for a weekend. Amazing quality, great staff, very home-style trattoria. try the Florentine steak (it is cooked al sangue, which is red - basically rare - but trust me it's delicious) if not, they have fantastic other Tuscan food including a delicious truffle pasta, Peposo (tender beef stewed in a red wine pepper sauce),

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Ciao! My name is Danielle and I'm a Californian from San Diego, who's been living full time in Florence, Italy since 2020. I studied in Florence in 2016 and absolutely fell in love with the food, culture, and history, and made it my mission to move back. I moved right before the pandemic, and staying here through all the lockdowns and pandemic life really helped me discover slow travel and find all of Italy's beauty, including lesser known gems, and off the beaten path travel spots. During my three years in Florence, I have wrote for publications like The Florentine, done freelance marketing with restaurants and a travel agency, giving me high insight into the best destinations, foodie spots, and more. I am here to help you make the most of your vacation in Italy with curated itineraries for every type of traveler and digital maps to help you enjoy THE BEST food each region has to offer. Let me do the work so you can just relax and enjoy, without any stress! I've had a very unique experience living in Italy the last 4 years, as I made my official move right before the pandemic, after visiting for years. Because of this I learned to travel locally and deeply throughout the numerous incredible destinations in Italy and for that I cater my travel services to finding the most local and mindful experiences, keeping true to discovering and appreciating Italy's culture.
